If userspace re-runs the vCPU, and\nvmcs02 holds valid PFNs from the *previous* run of L2, then KVM could\nre-enter L2 with stale, unpinned PFNs mapped into e.g. the vAPIC page.\n\nNote, both SVM and VMX (as of commit 11722439fb20 (\"KVM: nVMX: Ensure\nKVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES is cleared on VM-Exit\") ensure the request\nis cleared on VM-Exit (including the \"forced\" case), i.e. there is no risk\nof double-mapping due to emulated VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME/VMRUN *and* the request\ntrying to map the nested pages.","modified":"2026-10-19T14:16:50.185691360Z","published":"2026-10-18T16:17:40Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-98863"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98863"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.157.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-109449.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
